Aaargh!

Hullo to all you lovely people out there:

Rock - No point hiding in the supply closet ... cos now I know where to find you!! ... (you coward!)

I presume from reading your post that you have animals ... that you love ... ah! now you see Dr Doolittle ... this is why I don't have animals ... I may not be as restrained as you ... I may feel overcome by the need to kick them ... but not if I find you in the supply closet first ... your choice!!!

Thanks for your response ... I know that my behaviour has been a little 'odd' but I am trying to ride out the storm ... and to be fair ... my boss really is a good guy ... now he just thinks that I am a little weird ... but it's a fair observation dont you think??

Thanks for coming to my rescue ... It's nice to know that you are every bit as 'weird' as me ...

Hot Si02 - Now y'see ... you are just like a human form of Vallium ... you just soothe my troubles away and make me smile at the same time ... Wow! ... please let my husband write to you for some hints and tips on how to successfully manage this hot headed woman. I loved your use of the word 'mellow' ... this is an excellent word ... and I shall think of it often ... right before I let loose on some poor unsuspecting soul ... or right before I find Mr Rock in the supply closet!! ... Thank you for your words of wisdom ... I can tell you have worked hard to get your 250 (or so) days.

bj2705 - Thanks for your pratical hints and tips on how to cope with the cravings ... water is something that is sadly lacking from my daily binges ... I will heed your advice and give it a go. As for husbands ... don't even get me started ... that is a rant for another day ... and be sure that one will read like War and Peace!

Karren - Phew! ... I knew I could rely on you ... you have been holding my hand since my very first post on my very first day ... and once again ... I thank you. Who could have guessed that you have the devil in you ... but I agree with you that sometimes being naughty can also be quite nice ... but I have to be careful that I don't take this too far ... I have never been known for my quiet and unassuming manner ... maybe in time I will learn to be more 'MELLOW' ... in the meantime I will keep my gob zipped - sit on my hands - tie up my feet ... and ..... DEEP BREATHS (whilst thinking of a happy place ... maybe in the supply closet with Mr Rock!!) ... see Si02 and Rock postings above for details.

Kelly - I have been reading some of your posts and I got the feeling that this has not been an easy road for you ... I know it's not easy for anyone .. but .. you seem to have had it a little tougher than most ... and therefore if anyone can dish out advice that should be listened to ... it is you. I am taking a leap of faith here and trusting your words that eventually all this emotional mayhem will 'go away' ... and if it doesn't ... I'll be back on here drilling you for some more support and advice ... in the hope that you will once again be kind enough to respond ... Thank you I appreciate ALL the help I can get right now. x

Miss Marple - I might have guessed!!! ... there is always one late comer who wants to make an entrance ... typical

... No worries quit buddy ... I survived ... I have been distracted looking for men in closets ... kicking cats and dogs ... drinking water in between deep breathing and feeling mellow ... being 'shocked' at the behavioural confessions of some of our mutual quitter friends (i.e. Karren) and realising that I am not the only one out here who struggles with her anger management issues ... see all postings for details. You are so right about treating your loved ones badly ... I would never dream of being so grumpy and moody with anyone else ... but then I suppose y'gotta know me to love me ... I am an acquired taste ... and thankfully my husband and kids have developed an enduring taste for Grumpy Woman!! and thank you ... today has been brighter .... dare I say it ... it has actually been a good day ... what about you???

Taste buds and Tantrums

Lolly ... It is GREAT to hear from you ... I have been thinking of you and wondering how you are coping. Thanks for taking the time to check in ...

As you can tell ... this quit is taking on a life of it's own ... the cravings and behavioural issues are nasty ... but the postings (and the photo's) on here are fabulous ... not to mention my new found niche in the lingerie department ... yep! ... it's a whole new world indeed!! I have to confess (but only to you) that I do feel exceptionally proud of myself. I know it's only been three or so weeks ... but this is a bleedin' miracle for me ... and each day (however hard it may be) ... is like another mini truimph ... Damn ... I am GOOD!!!

Anyway Missus ... I do hope you are keeping yer chin up hen ... I am looking forward to you visiting here more regularly sometime soon ... there aint nothing quite like the scottish humour to brighten up yer day ... I wish you well with your treatments and hope you 'catch a break' sometime very soon ... please take care.

Luv Lil

P.S ... Don't think I'll need to jump off that pier ... there is a queue developing for those who would like to throw me off!

Taste buds and Tantrums

Miss Marple

You are SO right ... there is indeed a cappuccino flavoured lozenge ... Wow! ... now that was quick!!! ... I can't believe that just by coming on here and asking for something ... that within a couple of days ... it HAPPENS.

Right ... her goes ... "I think that all Scottish women over the age of 38 years old who have stopped smoking within the last three weeks should receive a couple of million pounds/dollars for their efforts" ...

Now all I have to do is wait a couple of days ....

Luv Lil x

P.S I dont think you can get these in the UK ... you gotta post me some (but you try them first ... just incase they also taste like sh*t!!!)

**SIGH**...its time for me to come on over

Hey I'm with you Ziggy!! ... it seems a little bit unfair doesn't it ... putting on (more) weight is not a happy thought for me ... now.. not enough to keep me away from the cookie jar you understand!! ... but it's not a happy situation. It's like a kinda double punishment ... I mean wots next ... will I have to give up all my extra marital lovers and quit with my leather fetish???

Seriously ... it's early days for me and already I have put on a bit of weight .. but the way I see it is .. I will deal with that a little later but the upside is that I can now breathe a little better and therefore excercise should not make me feel as though I am being throttled and/or suffocated whislt having a large hammer thrust repeatedly into my chest.

Hopefully, when I get a better handle on this quit - I will feel a little more motivated to 'DO' things rather than just resigning myself to a cup of coffee and a smoke AND now that I have been able to quit for a whole three weeks ... I now think that I could acheive almost anything (misguided fool that I am!!) So I figure that if I have the determination to stop smoking ... I know, I will (in time) muster up the determination to lose some weight and get a little more active ... but for me ... it's just about focusing on the most important issue right now ... and that is fighting the cravings and keeping of the smokes ... Hey! Rome was not built in a day (apparently!)

Keep me up to date with your quit and the weight gain (or lack of weight gain if you are one of the lucky ones) ... I promise I will get back to you ... but only after I have eaten several large burgers, followed by a couple of cream cakes, a multi pack of crisps and a handful or two of peanuts .... and oh! not forgetting a carrot stick or two just to keep it balanced!!!

Well done on your 7 days ... that's hell week in the bag ... you're gonna do great.

S.O.S

Wasn't going to post ... I have browsed without logging in - then I logged in and out again, browsed some more and then logged in and out and then in again.

The last few days have been difficult and it has got to the point now that if I had cigarettes here at home tonight ... I KNOW I would have smoked them. Why do I still WANT to smoke? and I really do want to smoke!!

I have done everything right - the gum, the lozenge, the patches, the water, the walking, the healthy nibbles, the rewards, reading here, posting here, and reading some more ... I am now almost 40 days in and I don't think I can do this.

I think about smoking nearly all the time - this I find VERY irritating ... I feel that okay ... I might have actually stopped smoking ... but now .... my every waking thought is consumed with smoking .. not smoking .. guilt .. worry .. cravings ..NRT's .. watching other people smoking on TV, in the street, in their car etc. etc. etc. I just want to be NORMAL.

I have even given consideration to becoming a 'secret' smoker and then that way I wont be letting anybody down - not even myself ... cos I WANT to smoke. I really have tried to be good - I have tried to do things properly - I have hung in there - but now I am totally exhausted with it all ... the mental torture of each day is grinding me down.

WHY does smoking have to be bad for you?????????

Don't really know why I am posting - you can do nothing to help unless you can crawl inside my head and fix the broken bit. I am exhausted - I am alone - I am very upset, disillusioned and disappointed in myself ... I want help but I don't want help if you know what I mean?? ... I don't want to hear about PMA and I dont want to look at my stats. I don't believe in God and I don't believe in prayer ... I don't want to do this anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and I am sorry if y'all are angered or offended by anything I have said ... but right now I am struggling like you wouldn't believe ...
